I’m just saying, there are options. Quite a decent amount really, by international standards. And some are pretty decent, just none perfect.

I just think the notion that there are no options of political candidates who would tax the oligarchs, isn’t true.

You asked what party could you vote for to tax them? I provided them. You said the preferences flow to Labor. And I said, well yeah, that’s the way the system works!

I feel like you’re shifting the goal posts here.

I do agree with you that things are largely cooked, though, and share your frustration that we don’t just grow some balls and tax companies and individuals like we once did.

I too look forward to a future where the people treat the government as their collective will, and not a force to be resisted and mistrusted, so we can get on with improving the material lives of all of us.

Hope this message finds you at the end of a relaxing weekend, if you had the pleasure of having it off work.
